WARNING: Not all door manufacturers

Based on 40 years experience in custom building, we determine the swing of a bookcase or mirror door the exact same as a conventional door.

Avoid the possibility of ordering the wrong swing by clicking below to see how we characterize the swing direction of our doors.

Pass-Through Clearance

A bookcase door needs a certain about of space within its own frame in order to operate properly. The left over space is called "Pass-through clearance." Learn about pass-through clearances for both In & Out swing doors and the required distances from any adjacent walls.
